Tommy Session

Tommy Session serves as a key procurement lead within the Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg (36C10G), part of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he specializes in the acquisition of advanced surgical, electromedical, dental, and ophthalmic equipment critical to modernizing VA clinical care delivery. Responsible for end-to-end contract management of high-precision medical devices, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with VA’s mission to provide veterans with safe, reliable, and technologically advanced healthcare solutions. His portfolio primarily encompasses capital equipment procurement, maintenance support contracts, and specialized diagnostic systems requiring rigorous technical evaluation and lifecycle management. Session maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of industry partners, including Fidelis Sustainability Distribution LLC, Contemporary Product Solutions, Inc., and Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Inc., all of which provide specialized medical instrumentation and supply chain services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and post-award performance oversight, particularly with firms experienced in FDA-regulated medical device distribution and healthcare-grade logistics. He frequently engages suppliers with demonstrated expertise in sterilization protocols, calibration standards, and compliance with ISO 13485 and IEC 60601 requirements. Session’s procurement activities are exclusively conducted under non-set-aside mechanisms, with 100% of awards issued through full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and market-wide innovation rather than socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance above all else. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 339112—Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing—where he sources precision-engineered devices including laparoscopic tools, electrosurgical units, dental imaging systems, and ophthalmic diagnostic equipment. His technical expertise spans biomedical engineering standards, clinical usability assessments, and supply chain resilience for mission-critical healthcare infrastructure.
